If you are gonna go with the black ones like in the above photos, I would add the small pinstripe on the outside of the stripes. I think that gives the stripes a little added look, although I'm not the biggest fan of stripes myself. I like the car to look clean and understated.

I'm a BIG fan of stripes. Here's both my car and my friends car with and without stripes and you be the judge.

I say matte superstripe

Kind of like the SuperSnake, I like the single stripe and I don't see it nearly as much as the double.

Stripes on the S197 look great IMO as long as you do them right. (aka go all the way down with them)
The previous gen I don't like stripes as much.

As far as pin stripes with them. I think fatter pin stripes look better but you have to space them right. I went with 1" pin stripes with a 1/4" gap.
(Bad camera sorry.)

Like this...

All though I think a ghost stripe would look cool.

Damn mini attachments.

I like the pinstripes on the outsides of the main stripes. Both of your cars look great! What did you pay for the stripes to be painted?

Yes, the GT/CS is on the scoop as well. By the way, it's all vinyl. No paint. Stripes cost $500 installed.

ptaylor, the gap between the stripes on the white car is a bit too wide, almost looks like a chevy stripe scheme. The silver on blue looks INCREDIBLE.
